Today, Qin Lei Yu hosted an invitation dinner for Sakata Tadayori in Qiao Chuan Nan. He had also invited a few minor stars from his company to accompany them, but didn't expect Sakata to be dissatisfied with these minor stars. Although he made advances towards them while pretending everyone else was unaware, he did not show any signs of pleasure.

Qin Lei Yu felt anxious as well. In fact, he and Sakata Tadayori had already settled all the preliminary cooperation matters; they just needed to seal it with a signature on the contract. However, Sakata kept delaying signing it, which was causing Qin Lei Yu considerable headache.

But when Sakata looked out of the tiny window in the private room and saw Liu Xuan and Wang Zheng having dinner together, he was immediately captivated and spoke a bunch of nonsense to have this young lady join them for drinks.

Qin Lei Yu instantly recognized this girl, who could be considered a beauty that would bring misfortune. He would do his best to satisfy Sakata's request because Liu Xuan hadn't been signed by any company yet. As the boss of Sunshine Media, he was confident in signing this promising star under him. Hence, Qin Lei Yu sent his secretary Li Lunpei to invite Liu Xuan. Neither he nor Li Lunpei had expected their invitation would be refused.

Clearly having received excellent education, Li Lunpei didn't show any impatience after being rejected by Liu Xuan and remained polite: "Miss Liu Xuan, our Sunshine Media is one of the top companies in this industry. If our boss sees potential in you, it will be beneficial for your future career in entertainment. Today's opportunity is rare; I advise you to consider joining us."

These words made people uncomfortable, despite Li Lunpei’s polite tone and mannerisms that conveyed an air of superiority. He even brought up their company as leverage, which was precisely what the Great Assassin detested most.

"Sorry, I really don’t want to consider it." Hearing Li Lunpei's words, Liu Xuan's smile gradually faded.

"Sunshine Media Why haven't I heard of you" Wang Zheng glanced at Li Lunpei and asked: "What do your company specialize in"

“Never heard of us” Li Lunpei was rather naive and didn’t understand the meaning behind Wang Zheng's words: “Our Sunshine Media has a high status within the Chinese entertainment industry. It’s the preferred choice for domestic artist signings. As far as I know, Miss Liu Xuan hasn't been signed by any management company yet. Perhaps you should consider our Sunshine Media Group.”

“Oh Your company is at the top of China's entertainment industry” Wang Zheng picked up a toothpick and inserted it into his teeth that didn’t have food stuck in them, then chuckled: "Since you're the leader of China’s entertainment world, how does your company compare to Songshi Media Group"

“Songshi Media Group” Li Lunpei was clearly caught off guard. Although Sunshine Media ranked among the top three in the Chinese entertainment industry, compared to the powerful official-backed leader of the industry—Songshi Media Group—it still fell short considerably. Now with Wang Zheng bringing up Songshi Media Group as leverage against him, Li Lunpei had no response.

“What’s wrong Out of words” said Wang Zheng with a small smile.

Li Lunpei was stunned; he thought Liu Xuan might be interested in signing with Songshi Media. He quickly explained: “Songshi Media Group has its own advantages, as does Sunshine Media. For newly debuted talents like Miss Liu Xuan, signing with us is the best choice because we have the most professional team within the industry that can provide the optimal development conditions and space for her. This will be highly beneficial for Miss Liu Xuan’s future career.”

Wang Zheng glanced at him sideways and said, "By the way, did you come here to accompany someone or to scout for talent"

Li Leping was stunned by Wang Zheng's antics and finally remembered his real purpose. He recalled that he couldn't provoke the Japanese guest and had to get Liu Xuan back. With this thought in mind, his tone became less courteous and hinted at some impatience.

"Miss Liu, you've been in the entertainment industry for such a short time that you don't understand Mr Qin's temperament. He invited you here today out of courtesy to you, but if you insist on not going, it means you're not giving him face. Mr Qin is not so polite towards those who don’t show him respect."

"Thank you, I won’t go." Liu Xuan hated being intimidated and her smile vanished completely. She didn't even look at Li Leping as she said: "I don't need his courtesy, nor do I want to sell myself by accompanying people with alcohol."

"Miss Liu, you're going to be working in the entertainment industry for a long time, why offend such an important figure like Mr Qin" As they say, those who keep company with virtuous men become virtuous themselves, and those who associate with wicked men become wicked. Li Leping was frequently influenced by Qin Lei Yu and even he, someone usually mild-mannered, started to speak sarcastically. He didn't believe that Liu Xuan, a new talent just entering the industry, wouldn’t yield under the influence of Sunshine Media Group's reputation.

"I won't go no matter what; you should leave before you make things worse for yourself." Liu Xuan’s tone became icier.

A cold glint appeared behind Li Leping's gold-rimmed glasses: "Miss Liu, are you sure you don’t want to accept Mr Qin’s invitation"

"I'm certain," Liu Xuan said without hesitation.

"Wait a minute." Wang Zheng suddenly interrupted.

"Oh Have you changed your mind" Li Leping sneered, feeling rather superior.

Wang Zheng ignored Li Leping's smirk and took out his phone to make a call: "Hello, Song Mingsheng I'm at Qiao Chuannan. Be here in fifteen minutes."

Without waiting for an answer from the other end of the line, Wang Zheng hung up.

Song Mingsheng was in the midst of negotiating business with a table full of clients when he heard Wang Zheng's call and nearly wet himself. He immediately instructed his secretary to prepare a car, abandoning the clients in the meeting room and leaving right away.

"General Manager Song, what does this mean We came all the way to Beijing...

A client wanted to voice their dissatisfaction but was met with Song Mingsheng's immediate rebuke: "Do as you please. My life is at stake here; who has the mood to waste time on a bunch of idiots like you"

After that, without minding the clients and secretary who were in shock, he hurriedly put on his coat and left.

...

"Song Mingsheng" Li Luntu failed to recognize whom Wang Zheng was referring to at first. The name felt familiar but it took him a moment of thought before saying, "You mean the General Manager from Song Media Group"

"Who else in Beijing is called Song Mingsheng" asked Wang Zheng with a smile.

“Are you really talking about General Manager Song” Li Luntu couldn’t believe that a young man could actually move Song Mingsheng. Moreover, the tone was extremely arrogant as if Song Mingsheng, who commanded power in the entertainment industry, was his subordinate!

Seeing this, Li Luntu realized that things might be more complicated than he thought and immediately changed his attitude. He hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment; I’ll report to General Manager Qin."

As he watched Li Luntu enter the private room, Liu Xuan rolled her eyes and muttered, “What a beast in human form.”

"What That boy knows Song Mingsheng" Qin Lei Yu was taken aback. Then looking at the ruddy-faced Tanegiru郎 (note: The original Chinese name is not clear, might be 'Tanegiru', which could refer to a person or place in Japanese), he smiled and said, "Listen to him boasting, Song Mingsheng is the second son of Old Man Song. If he can make Song Mingsheng his subordinate, I can even become his grandfather."

"Moreover, Mr. Tanegiru is here; I know how influential he is in Japan. How could this boy cause any trouble"

“But General Manager Qin...” Li Luntu was still a bit worried about Song Mingsheng.

"Enough with the buts, it's just a little girl who doesn't know how deep the waters of this industry run! If Mr. Tanegiru thinks she has potential, he might even give her a promising future! What an ungrateful woman!" Qin Lei Yu huffed and said, "Ask him to come in one more time; tell him that the Japanese media tycoon Mr. Tanegiru is here. Today I’ve shown this little girl enough respect! Such arrogance for someone who doesn't understand their place!”

Qin Leiyu had already made up his mind; after this matter, he would definitely have to properly "discipline" the young lady named Liu Xuan, who had embarrassed him multiple times. He needed to regain that lost face.

Li Lunpei was helpless and walked out again.

However, since she could mention Saito Taro, it still gave this high-level secretary a considerable amount of confidence.

"Miss Liu Xuan, Mr. Saito Taro from the Japanese entertainment industry is also in the private room. Actually, he invited you there." Li Lunpei smiled, with an indescribable meaning behind his smile as he said, "If Mr. Saito notices your talent, then you won't have to worry about your future in the entertainment industry."

"A Japanese person" Wang Zheng's eyes lit up.

"What's so special about a Japanese person I'm not going." Liu Xuan looked at Wang Zheng; clearly she wasn't happy either, but since she didn’t know what tricks Wang Zheng was planning to play, she had remained.

"I say, let’s talk this out. Liu Xuan, we should go and make friends," said Wang Zheng, winking at Liu Xuan. She knew he was up to something again: "As a friend of Miss Liu Xuan's, surely you won't mind me joining in for some drinks"

Wang Zheng looked earnestly at Li Lunpei.

"You're the reasonable one here; may I ask what your surname is" Li Lunpei heaved a sigh of relief. After all, if he couldn’t invite Liu Xuan himself and had to drag her there forcibly, it would make Qin Leiyu feel that his abilities were lacking. Since this was the case, it might as well be this young man who accompanied him.

"My elder brother is Wang Zheng."

Hearing this, Li Lunpei couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

Li Lunpei walked ahead while Wang Zheng secretly held Liu Xuan's hand and gestured for her not to be afraid: "Let’s go; we’ll put an end to these Japanese people."

Liu Xuan looked at Wang Zheng helplessly. Sometimes, this man truly acted like a mischievous kid.

When the youthful Liu Xuan appeared at the entrance of the private room, it instantly lit up! Everyone's gaze was attracted to this beautiful young lady, and Saito Taro was even more excessive; he didn't react even when saliva dripped onto his plate!Su Tianran increasingly wary."Su Tianran, you mustn't doubt me just because this attempt didn’t succeed," the sunglasses guy said calmly with a smile.
